Baruch College, a member of the City University of New York (CUNY), normally demands a high SAT score for admission. For new freshmen, the middle 50% SAT score range is typically between 1170 and 1350, with slightly higher scores for more competitive institutions like the Zicklin School of Business. While Baruch does not have a minimum SAT requirement, applicants with scores in or above this range have a better chance of admission. In addition to standardised exam scores, Baruch evaluates high school GPA, extracurricular activities, and personal statements. As Baruch has adopted test-optional practices in recent years, applicants may still apply without SAT scores, focussing instead on other areas of the application.

The overall GRE score is based on three sections: verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and analytical writing. The Verbal and Quantitative portions are assessed on a scale of 130-170 in one-point increments, while Analytical Writing is graded on a scale of 0-6 in half-point increments. The Verbal and Quantitative scores are combined to generate a total score out of 340, however, the Analytical Writing score is presented separately and does not count towards the total. Each section is computer-adaptive, which means that the difficulty varies depending on how well you performed in previous portions. Scores are generated using both raw scores (based on correct answers) and difficulty adjustments to ensure consistency across test versions. The end result is a standardised assessment of a test taker's abilities.
